Still with a glut in my throat

I've been longing to watch 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas' since I saw billboards of the film in the London Tube stations back in September.

Last night, my wish was fulfilled, and I must say, I still have some of its scenes running through my mind.

Although is has some factual goofs (e.g. PoWs in camps were not allowed close to the fence, they would be shot immediately), the end is what I call a real climax. So much suspense, so much thrill. And as in all reviews I have read about the film, most people sat in silence for a few minutes after the credits started rolling.

It kept all four of us affected, as we drove home quietly for most of the journey.

You must see it!
